Wine Description:
Dominus Dominus is a sublime Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon crafted by Christian Moueix, the esteemed winemaker behind iconic wines such as Petrus and La Fleur-Pétrus. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot, aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak. On the nose, Dominus reveals rich aromas of dark fruits, cassis, and blackberry, underscored by subtle notes of tobacco, cedar, and sweet baking spices. On the palate, the wine is lush and expansive, with a dense core of dark fruit flavors and a firm structure of fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and persistent, with a hint of espresso and cocoa emerging in the aftertaste. Read more

Taste Flavor
info
Wine sweetness is a measure of the amount of sugar present in a wine. Sweetness in wine can range from bone dry (no sugar present) to lusciously sweet (high sugar content). Sweetness is usually determined by the variety and ripeness of the grapes used, as well as the winemaking process.
Sweetness
info
The alcohol level in wine is a measure of the amount of alcohol present in the beverage. The degree of heat or ‘burn’ at the back of the throat is roughly proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed. It ranges from Very Low to Very High.
Alcohol
info
Wine intensity is a measure of the concentration of flavor and aroma compounds in a wine.The stronger and more noticeable the flavors and aromas are, the higher the intensity of the wine. Intensity in wine can range from neutral (not particularly intense) to pronounced (high intensity).
Intensity
info
Wine body refers to the weight and texture of wine on the palate. In other words, it is the degree of body a wine has, ranging from light-bodied to full-bodied. Wines with higher body appear to have a thicker texture and can sometimes coat the palate.
Body
info
Wine acidity refers to the tartness of a wine, which gives a tingling sensation on the side of the tongue. A metallic-like sharp taste is also associated with high acidity. Sometimes a high level of sweetness, such as in luscious dessert wines, can disguise a high level of acidity. Acidity can range from soft to searing.
Acidity
info
Wine tannin gives wine its textural mouthfeel and astringency. Tannin is a natural compound found in grape skins, seeds, and stems. It contributes to the structure and helps to balance out the sweetness of the fruit. Tannins are usually discussed when it comes to red wines, even though some white and rosé wines with certain wine making techniques can also contain tannins.

Promontory is a prestigious Napa Valley winery known for its high-priced Cabernet Sauvignon. Acquired by the Harlan family in 2008, the property spans 840 acres in Oakville. Despite producing only one Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is a complex blend due to variations in soil, exposure, and elevation. Up to 70 passes are made through the vineyard to harvest fruit at the perfect ripeness, resulting in over 30 distinct component wines aged in barrels for a year before blending. The final blend ages for several more years in large Austrian oak casks. In 2017, a modern winery was opened, designed for both production and visitor experiences, in contrast to the family's other labels.
